I have had a CZ SP01 for about a year now and love it. Just went and bought a CZ 75 compact today for my concealed carry. I try to either buy a new gun or ammo any time the shitlibs start wailing about gun control.

800 trouble free rounds so far. With use the trigger smoothed out and the " binding" has gone away. Both the mag and slide release are as smooth as a 19X.
Great gun for CCW in a chest rig. It pretty much disappears.
Would I recommend it? Yes, can't beat the price point. I would advise to break it in before carrying it.

I'm not a CZ nut but one of my co-workers is. He drug me to Monroe and we did a walk-thru of I think Cajun's operation. Very impressive. I just can't tear myself away from my G19 MOS. However, I'm getting the itch for a new G34...

No, I fired 1k rounds through the test sample. It did run flawlessly the main issue was the trigger safety causing the trigger to bind. I've talked with other P10 owners who also griped about this.

CZ did a great job on ergonomics and MSRP. The trigger needs serious improvement. It's not the Glock killer that MSGWs claim it is.

Not even close, and I think that in particular has lead to the P10c being a stumbling block for such a prolific manufacturer. Personally, I believe that CZ was “listening to the consumer” but got pulled off course by all the gun forum complaints about “grip angle” and “ergonomics of a 2x4” that so many Glock critics love to parrot. I’ve learned a lot about pistol marksmanship in the last few years in particular, and the most ergonomic gun will shoot for me at most negligibly better than some awkward chincy zinc alloy crap gun.

Most of those complaints are from people who are unable or unwilling to learn consistency in their fundamentals, usual the ones who shoot the least. The improvement efforts seem to have gone into the least important areas in an effort to beat Glock at it’s own game which is a fools errand at this point. The 19X, G45, and the entire Gen 5 line have improved the long-trusted design leaps and bounds better than any of the competitors have managed to do. In the meantime, high volume and higher performing shooters who tried out the P10 have all been at best underwhelmed by the trigger (safety tab in particular) and performance after the 10k+ round count levels.

CZ makes some excellent pistols in their steel and alloy CZ-75 based classic line though. As much as the fedora wearing Subaru drivers that plague CZ’s fan base annoys me, I have to admit that the best target shooting I’ve achieved with a pistol was with an SP-01 Tactical, the full sized model with the railed dust jacket that runs the full length of the slide. Using bulk NATO 124gr FMJ I was shooting five round ragged holes and ten round clover leafs at 25m offhand. That’s not to say it’s a huge improvement over a 1911 or even my 19X, but a ten round group shrinking from 3” down to 1.5-2” was still noticeable to me.

That being said, there’s a myriad of reasons why that excellent target gun isn’t something I’d recommend for EDC and not something I ever reached for as a carry or duty use gun. That’s a whole different discussion.

FWIW, I’ve found that the Canick TP9 is consistently a better gun out of the box than the P10. The parts interface is more smooth and seems to be finished better, allowing a less gritty or sticky movement of essential parts. I recall CZ having an optional aftermarket flat trigger shoe with no safety tab, though I’d avoid that type of trigger shoe on any full tension striker fired handgun for any serious use. That limits you to either an unsafe or an unreliable trigger, which are both unacceptable with such a saturated market of good reliable alternatives.

^^ The binding really irritated me hence my change from my earlier post. What I thought was the trigger bind going away was me adjusting my shooting to that weapon. Which caused my shooting to suffer on other guns. I actually contemplated taping the trigger safety.
I have 1.8k total rounds through the P10C. First 800 I thought it was gtg more I shot it less I liked it.
I concur on the SP01 great weapon.

Well, dammit, that's a kick in the nuts. I was so looking forward to this as a carry rig.
Might as well go fondle a 19x now...

Lot of play in the trigger safety. I was mostly shooting the P10 then I took a VP9 out and noticed how my finger placement was compared to the CZ. What works on all other guns for me doesn't on the P10.
Try a P10 and see if it happens to you. CZ has done improvements during production.

Appreciate your detailed reviews.
